    98G thanks much for the thoughts on this and yes it will be light in the rear with no trailer on the tractor, and will run the truck at 55 mph. I will fill the rear up to 100 and just watch the tread contact pattern and reduce pressure as needed to at least get 80% of the tire face touching...

    M920 on 1600 20s GoodYear with HEMTT rims

    Replacing/rebuilding radiator

    Bobweb that radiator doesnt look bad, granted some of the support structure is showing some replacement potential but the radiator it self look OK to me. 1200 for fixing it seems a bit steep, my opinion only. How much for a new aluminum radiator? If its not leaking and it were mine I would...

    Anyone regret goin to 16.00r20 Tires on M923a2?

    I have an M920 I put 1600s on and it sure helped the ride a lot keeps my RPS down a bit more at speed all in all I like them a lot. The only downside I have found is it increased my turning radius a fair bit, I have to backup a couple more times in a tight turn!
